Just shopped there tonight.
Working at MB was my first job.
Owner is a fantastic human.
When the patriarch owner passed away the family wanted to sell out to another big chain which would have hurt employees and changed the company dynamic.
He wouldn’t sell his shares and the employees backed his fight against a hostile takeover.
He ended up buying his siblings out for billions with the prospect being he would be unable to meet the loan.
I think he paid the billions off early and expanded the business.
His philosophy is “Pennys” for product sold but sell lots of product.
15k for a roof that big sounds cheap.
Friend a couple of weeks ago roofed his fathers house and I thought he said it was $1000/square and cost him a shitload.
Please comment - did I hear him right?
When Star Wars came out WWII vets were closer to their time in service than I am to my service time now.
Not that I think WWII vets were lining up to watch it.
It was a formula that followed the truths of life. That is why it worked and it would always work.
This new bullshit they want us to accept for entertainment goes against nature.
I don't know how many squares our house is, but we had the roof replaced a couple years ago from a wind storm, insurance paid $20k.
Edit add: one "square" is three packages of asphalt shingles...I think that makes 100 square feet, but I don't remember for sure. We (dad, twin sister, and me) replaced a lot of roofs after a bad hail storm in the late '80s that had baseball size hail, wiped out everything two miles wide by 10 miles long.

We had to pay cash for a roof job a few years ago. Got a deal from a friend of a friend on labor and bought shingles ourselves, it still cost us pretty close to $15k
